Many sundials bear a motto〔The plural of ''motto'' may be either ''mottoes'' or ''mottos''.〕 to reflect the sentiments of its maker or owner. ==English mottos== * Be as true to each other as this dial is to the sun. * Begone about Thy business. * Come along and grow old with me; the best is yet to be.〔From Robert Browning's poem ''Rabbi ben Ezra''〕 * Hours fly, Flowers die. New days, New ways, Pass by. Love stays.〔From Henry van Dyke's ''Inscription for Katrina's Sun-Dial''〕 * I only tell of sunny hours. * Let others tell of storms and showers, I tell of sunny morning hours. * Life is but a shadow: the shadow of a bird on the wing. * Self-dependent power can time defy, as rocks resist the billows and the sky.〔From Oliver Goldsmith's poem ''The Deserted Village''〕 * Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all its sons away.〔〔From Isaac Watts' hymn ''Our God, Our Help in Ages Past''〕 * Today is Yesterday's Tomorrow <ref> 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「list of sundial mottos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
